If you have dozens of business and personal contacts stored in your LG Cosmos Touch, you may have placed them in groups to make them easier to manage. Once you've put some contacts in a group, you can send some or all of those contacts a text message at once. You don't need to enter each contact manually, so this is a good way to send messages quickly when you are pressed for time.

Tap the "Menu" key in standby mode to open the main menu.

Tap "Contacts" and then select "Groups."

Tap a group. To send a text message to everyone in the group, tap "Mark All." To send it to specific people in the group, tap each desired contact.

Tap "Options" and then select "New TXT Message." Alternatively, to send a picture to the group, select "New Picture Message."

Tips

To create a new group, go to the Groups menu and press the left soft key to select "New."

You can also send a text message to multiple people who aren't in a group. To do this, select "Messages" on the home screen, choose "New Message" and "Text Message." Enter up to 20 phone numbers or email addresses in the Recipient field. Enter your message and tap "Send."
